The following websites have earned the status of "Pretty Damn Legit" by causing little to no problems, and through extensive research, no problems were found. In addition, websites with this status have not received a hefty quantity of complaints by others.
Swagbucks
Basically, all you need to do with Swagbucks is just search random things with the Swagbucks searching tool and you can earn "Swagbucks", which you can redeem for various items in a store known as the "Swag Store"!
Examples include:
-Trading cards (Yugioh, Magic: The gathering, Baseball cards)
-Gift cards (Amazon, Ultimantepoints, etc.) You can get a $5 amazon gift card in a few days if you know how to work the system
-Apparel (T-Shirts, hats, and not just Swagbucks designs; they have cool designs as well!)
-Gaming systems (Difficult to get, but things like PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
-Misc. Things of all sorts! (Metal Eco-bottles, various nifty gadgets, guitars, etc.)
Cons, and disadvantages:
-If you really want to get something by the end of the day, you'll need to do the offers. The searching tool will only yield Swagbucks 2-4 times a day
-While you can search random words, you cannot type mumbo jumbo (For example, while 'cheese printers' may work, 'fhskdfhsdjk' would not.) They must be real words.
-The Swag Store is a little disorganized. A little hard to find what you are looking for; lack of filters. You need patience and time when browsing through the Swag Store. (Where you can redeem your Swagbucks)
Tips of the trade:
-Do a little bit every day. If you spend all day using the search tool, it's going to stop giving you Swagbucks.
-Search in groups, first search "Cheese recipes" then "Cheese recipes cheap" then "Cheese recipes cheap easy to make" etc.
-Get the Swagbucks toolbar! It won't bother you, and it's incredibly useful. You get 1-3 Swagbucks every day just by using opening the internet, and you can just randomly search something when you're bored without having to go on the Swagbucks website.
-Every Thursday at a random time, Swagbucks will send all of it's users a special code that can be redeemed for Swagbucks. These codes expire in just a few hours, so it's useful to have the Swagbucks Toolbar for quick access to your messages.

Cashcrate
Cashcrate is like most GPT sites, but they also have a point system. Post a picture of your check, get 20 points, every dollar you make, you get a point, and you can use these points to play various games, and if you do really good, you can get even more points!
Cashcrate is a great thing to do if you can learn how to use it efficiently. In just 2 weeks, spending a little bit of time a day, I made the $20 minimum payout, and in a month or so, I made $47 dollars.
If you have connections with people looking for the same type of thing as you, there is also a nice referral system, where you make 20% of what your referrals make, and 10% of what their referrals make. Plus, when they make $10, you make 3$. Pretty cool! (That means for every referral that reaches $10, you get $7.)
Cons:
-Requires a bit of knowledge, if you are a complete beginner to your computer or GPT sites, there is a lot to learn
-Hard to score high on games, the amount of points you get is proportional to how much better you do in comparison to other players. If you get 1st place in the Snake Fish tournament on some days, you may be able to get a $100 visa gift card!
-Eventually, there is a lack of surveys. After ~$47 dollars it became quite hard to find easy offers.
Tips of the trade:
-Be honest when giving your personal information, but be very cautious about giving up your phone number and email. Cashcrate will not send anything to your house, except checks when you reach your payout.
-If you want to do a trial offer, but don't want to give them your credit/debit card information, you can get a $5 visa gift card, and use that. On occasion it will be rejected, but sometimes, it does work!
-Read this guide, there is nothing else I can say here that this guide has not covered. Sure, it's not complete yet, but it's really good. It has pictures and everything!

Surveyhead
Surveyhead, is a survey website which I really like. Why? Well, each survey on this websites usually yields $1-5, which is quite a bit for a survey!
Surveyhead is a standard, but pretty good survey website. Out of all the regular survey websites, this one probably has the best overall quality. There is a $25 minimum payout, but the website starts you off with a free $5, just for confirming your e-mail.
Cons:
-Unlike SurveySavvy, (next one) it is possible to be rejected from a survey. It happens from time to time :\
-If you are used to Cashcrate or Swagbucks, these surveys may be really time consuming for you. The surveys can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
-The surveys take an EXTREMELY long time to process. My first survey took ~3 weeks to go into my earnings, and the average time for these to process is 4-8 weeks.
Tips of the trade:
-Check your dashboard every now and then for survey opportunities. They come and go!
-Be honest and consistent with your personal info. They will not disclose it to third parties, nor should they send anything to your house (snail mail costs money!).
-Do not rush through the surveys, and do not supply random answers. Occasionally they will throw in questions to deter people who click random answers, and if they detect you are going too fast, they may reject you from the survey.
-If you sucessfully complete a survey on this website, it is very possible that another one will come up after you're done. When this happens, it's very possible to make a lot of money in one sitting!
